The Dow Jones industrial average set a record, closing above its previous all-time high set on Oct. 9, 2007. But the Dow is a measure of just 30 large company stocks. Here's how the industry groups in the broader Standard & Poor's 500 index have performed over the same period. Stocks that depend on consumer spending have led the way, while financial stocks are still feeling the hangover from the financial crisis.
— Consumer discretionary: up 37.4 percent
— Consumer staples: up 37.1 percent
— Health care: up 21.9 percent
— Information technology: up 13.2 percent
— Energy: down 1.6 percent
